The Mythological Origins of Pixiu

The Pixiu (also known as Pi Yao) is a fascinating mythological creature deeply embedded in Chinese culture. The Pixiu's origin story traces back to ancient Chinese mythology, where it is described as a powerful celestial creature that serves as a protector. Legend has it that the Pixiu was the ninth offspring of the Dragon King, bestowed with the task of guarding the heavens and repelling evil spirits. Historically, the Pixiu's image began to appear during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) as an auspicious symbol of wealth, power, and protection. Its fierce visage and mythical abilities have made it a beloved figure in Chinese art and folklore for centuries.

Types and Symbolism of Pixiu

There are two primary types of Pixiu, each with distinct characteristics and symbolism. The Tianlu is known as the wealth-attracting Pixiu, often depicted with a single horn and tasked with protecting wealth and prosperity. The Bixie, with two horns, is also associated with attracting wealth but is particularly noted for its role in warding off evil spirits and bad luck. In traditional Chinese beliefs, Pixiu can also be differentiated by gender. The male Pixiu, called Pi, is believed to attract and gather wealth, symbolizing financial luck and opportunities. The female Pixiu, called Xiu, is thought to protect and manage the accumulated wealth, ensuring it remains safe and secure. These distinctions play a crucial role in how these mythical creatures are used in various forms of art and Feng Shui practices.

Feng Shui Placement and Benefits

When using Pixiu carvings, place them in strategic locations around the home or office, such as the entrance, to guard against negative energy and attract good fortune. It is important to avoid placing Pixiu in bedrooms or bathrooms, as these areas are considered too private and can disrupt the flow of positive energy. Not only can you leverage the Pixiu energy, but by obtaining Pixiu carved from crystals you also gain the crystal frequency. These items are indeed special!
